MoreSmiles 6:365

Back to school today. Smiles grew stronger gradually as everyone woke up...

Big smiles on the faces of 5TC as two if them tried to eat "las uvas de la suerte" to the chimes of the clock in the Puerta de Sol in Madrid. And once they'd finished - and succeeded, they smiled too! There ended a day of explaining El Día de Reyes! 
Other big smile was on returning home to discover Isaac had scored full marks in a German GCSE assessment.

Smiles 84:365

¡Ñam ñam! After a Sunday morning Twitter conversation, I was inspired to make torrijas today. And they turned out really well. Very popular with the men in my life.
Eating them reminded me of Familia Fuente Martín in Segovia with whom I spent two wonderful study breaks/holidays in the late 80s. Chili made them and they were absolutely delicious. Then I started thinking of all the other delicious things she made like empanadillas, garbanzos, espinacas en bechamel, and of course the infamous pulpo en su tinta! What a wonderful family - so generous with their time, always wanting to show me their town and surroundings, and introduce me to everyone they knew. I learned so much and Segovia will always hold a very special place in my heart.
